FORD Fiesta · photos, packages and modifications

When you consider about the Supermini models available, they were more stylish than the Ford Fiesta and it was enhanced with the help of 2012 facelift model. The new design of this model was applied to both the three-door and five-door models along with the inspiration derived from the Ford Evos concept, which was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011 and also the next generation Mondeo. Most of the changes had been done by mainly focusing on the front of the car. The front of the car came up with the oversized five-bar chrome grille, LED daytime running lights and the separate lower section as linked by the trapezoidal fog-lamp surrounds. When you consider about the bonnet, it modified as the one with the raised center rather than the flatter design of the pre-facelift car and was available with the more aggressive Power Dome Shape along with the new colors, new tail-lights and new alloy wheel designs. Because of all these things, Fiesta was treated as the car with healthy and efficient attitude as a larger one even though it was not. It was also made the look of popular Volkswagen polo as the bland and uninspiring one. On the inside of the car, it was also continued with the smart design with the efficient features such as stylish switchgear, new mobile phone-inspired center console and neat dials options.

By getting through all these things, the Ford Fiesta became as the efficient one with big scores. Because of the agile chassis, sharp steering and the decent amount of grip most of the cars were treated as the best one to drive with more fun. But, these were not the best one to drive on the country road and Fiesta had the best big-car feel on the motorway. Even though these cars were refined and quite with a comfortable drive, they were not provided with the efficient and firm ride. When you consider about the wide range of petrol engines available for the Fiesta, then you would probably come up with the result as two 1.25 liter units as capable of offering 60 and 82 bhp and the 1.0 liter three-cylinder engine that was multi-award winning of the Ford that can be used in both the turbocharged and the non-turbo EcoBoost forms. The diesel choices were also included with the 1.5 liter unit to provide 74 bhp and the 94bhp through 1.6 liter unit as available with the frugal Econetic model capable of offering 85.6 mpg.

This model got with the five-star score in the Euro NCAP crash testing along with the standard features that were efficient one including the seven airbags, the little Ford ticks all the right boxes and the stability control. Now, this model also designed with the additional option of an Active City Stop system. The working of this system was normally similar to the autobrake system available on the Focus model, which would probably be used to prevent the low-speed collisions by providing the automatic stop to the car at the necessary times. If you have decided to lend the car to your friend or to a child, then the model with new MyKey system would be the best choice because of the stereo volume and the capacity of offering the owner to pre-programme a maximum speed. The main negative thing about this model was the poor quality plastics used in the cabin that too particularly around the cupholders of center console.

Even though the Ford Fiesta was designed with the small dimensions, it would probably provide more comfortable with all sizes and shapes in an efficient one. The steering was styled in order to adjust easily for rake and reach and hence there would be a lot of travel space in the seats. Compared to three-door models of this car, five-door models can be offered with more space for rear passengers, but the space was less compared to the Renault Clio or the Volkswagen Polo. Even though this car was designed with quite high lip, the boot size treated as the good one for the class. Compared to the Polo and Peugeot those were offering 280 and 285 liter of space respectively, the Ford Fiesta can offer the 295 liter of space. But, it was quite less compared to the Honda Jazz model that was available with the massive 399 liter boot space. The rear seats of the model were designed in a manner to fold and split, but the base of the seats can't be flipped forward. This would probably increase the luggage area of the car to 979 liter that would be more helpful in carrying the bit tricky bigger items for the efficient travel.
